Introducing The YT Family 2018

At YT, we’re not hiring athletes, we keep on building a family. United by the YT state of mind, not defined by boundaries. We are stoked to be represented by each of them: Riders who stand out as legends of the sport. Rookies who burst onto the scene, blowing people’s minds. A bunch of characters showing what riding bikes is all about and what YT stands for.

Live uncaged.

Andreu Lacondeguy

No one to better represent good times than Andreu! He has been with YT since the beginning and we are stoked to keep him in the family for 2018 and beyond, sick man!
